The Yang of my Yin Day

1) I made a random search for images of Stephanie Lee and look at what I found ! www.stephanie-lee.blogspot.com Well, she beat me to that name, and Oxford as well. Ain't the world getting smaller ???

2) Got a free lift from Khai Hoong, I was really lucky to bump into you !!! And rediscovered my love of Kipling's poems. I found this just 5 mins ago !!!

Now this is the Law of the Jungle -- as old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back --

For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack

From : Law of the Jungle

GORGEOUS !!! Kipling's Jungle Book was one of the first classics I ever attempted, and fell in love with. He wrote pages more of prose and poetry, but I personally prefer his poems. They rhyme, ain't verbose or boring, and make sense.

Anyone out there who also loves poems - they do save your reading time, don' they ? And it'
s so hard to write good poetry. I don't speak for you, but brevity has always been a challenge for me-

should go check out this website www.poetryloverspage.com

They have a good collection of poems by Rudy Kippy too !!!

My final months in Malaysia..Malaysia...A sense of dread fills me everyday now. I feel as if a time bomb is about to erupt and capult me to US. Time goes by too quickly, I wish I had more time to spend with you.

Notes to Self.

Haha, I skipped a workout today because I came back really late last night, doing a cultural show in Cyberjaya


( Note to self : Must be able to fit a cheongsam perfectly before end of this month..


What's it with the cut of the cheongsam and its partiality towards small busted women...I blame the traditional upperclass Chinese woman's figure on the lack of dairy products and lengthy matchmaking parties.
No matter what the American Association of Dairy Products say about low fat milk, milk is milk, it will make you grow bigger, I shan't use the word ' fatter' because everything can make you fat, not just milk, and it's a tad unfair to blame milk for obesity instead of the lack of self control and other environmental/lifestyle causes, and yes, back to the point, infants grow 70% bigger during the first 12 months if I'm not mistaken, feeding only on breast milk and adoring attention from devotees, sorry, I mean their devoted parents.



Look at cows ! Calfs wean only on their mothers' milk and look how much they grow within the first 3 months ! So, if you want to grow any body part bigger, take milk. Specifically, take it with papaya. I guarantee you'll get sea shells and beyond **** soon.


And as for the latter, lengthy matchmaking parties require girls to sip and sip and sip Chinese tea and ONLY Chinese tea for the whole day, while smiling demurely and trying to win attention from potential mother-in-laws. Hey, these events are very stressful okay ? Think about it, how can they not lose weight with all that stress, the reputed fat burning and slimming quali ties of Chinese tea, and a no-food diet ? How can they not be willowly slim ? And they sometimes have to show off their skills like dancing, playing the gu zheng and other Chinese musical instruments, or making tea, or worse, cooking ! Even the art of conversation - memorising poems and prose to sound intelligent but not too intelligent and racking up their heads to think of tactful but impactful compliments to the targetted mother-in-law and husband - are very the calorie-burning la.


But they should just make bigger cheongsams...who wears a size 32A these days with McD's, Margaritas, and entertaining Media who keep us glued to our couches..)


So, here I am, very happy after a carbo deluxe breakfast of cereal and bread ( smiles very very contentedly ),


surfing the web, researching on laptops and USB drives ( it's preparation for my visit to the PC fair later. Promised bossie I'd go find him something good ;) Like maybe a Thai girl...You want you want..very fair price... )


and reading The Star online too.


( I finished reading NST earlier during OC and Numb3rs already ! OC is just so the drama, even if you

miss half the show or an episode or two, it really doesn't matter, because almost every episode has someone dying, or drowning, or drinking, or doing drugs, or partying, or ranting out their rages, or getting back together with someone, or dating someone else, or having a sex life crises, or getting divorced/married/engaged. See ? You don't have to watch it anymore, I've basically told you the whole plot line. I watch Numb3rs because I'm trying to learn more about Math without actually doing it ! Besides, it's a lot more fun learning about those little obsecure facts of Math which textbooks fail to fascinate through decently realistic crime scenes and cute lead characters who have really boring but gradually getting better love lives. )


And the Star has thie lovely write up on the Amber chess tournament !!!

http://www.thestar.com.my/lifestyle/story.asp?file=/2008/4/11/lifeliving/20856473&sec=lifeliving



Picture taken from today’s Star.

This chess tournament is really cool, you play the whole game 'blindfolded' which means you have to remember all the moves you've made since you won't be able to see the chess board physically. Gosh, I really really wanted to go for this tournament years ago when I was still a member of the Chess club at SBU...reading about it brings back hazy memories of my dad laughing at me and volunteering to teach me Chess.

Why did I stop playing ???

I am going to the PC Fair today, and I shall not look like techo-noob. I shall look and sound like a very intellectual technie or do they call them techies or teckies ? Whatever la, I'm going to read up some info on those laptops now.

BECAUSE I'M GONNA NEED ONE THERE TO KEEP ON BLOGGING AND KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH ALL OF YOU AND HUMOURING/BORING YOU ALL WITH THIS BLOG.


**** It's a joke I read recently. Okay people, tell me why mermaids wear seashells ?



Because they're too big for B-shells and too small for D-shells







I got this picture from Shawn from his blog..more like stole it lol..go read it at trickflip.blogspot.!!!

K after viewing my testimonial..I tersangat ingin balik...to Form 5...to have my school life back. I'd cherish it a lot more and do more outrageous things that I missed on doing. But I don't regret the choices I made on how to spend my time and who I chose to spend it with, I really don't regret skipping out on shopping and movie trips and going for dance/music classes,volunteer work ( although it was agony deciding!) and study stuff instead. I just regret ffk-ing my friends. Sometimes I wonder, if I hadn't spent so much time studying..would I have been a better dancer now ? Would I have been a better friend if I went out every weekend with my gfs on shopping trips and other girlie past times ? Would I have been a better person if I onlined more,watched TV & MTV like normal kids do, and did parties and hung out and got to know other people from the socialsphere, instead of spending time traveling between school and all those extra things and sleeping from sheer exhaustion?

Man, I'm bad at time management la.
Or maybe, I just doubt myself and my capabilities.
